Rab Positron Waterproof

PJ said:

Has anyone tried a Rab Positron jacket ? Can it be recommended ? I after spending some money on a
waterproof and found this as an alternative to the usual Paclite based jackets.

the resident fabric goddess gurus sez: never heard of it. Which usually is not a good thing. Is that
the brand of the jacket or the branding of the fabric? Remember, you get what you pay for.

*I've* never heard of them, is that a European brand? Sometimes I google this stuff because I do
have a serious interest in fabrics but I just don't have the time these days.

Erm, hang on <google>... yep, they're British: www.rab.uk.com

It's a long time since I was interested in the outdoor kit market, but I seem to recall Rab being a
top brand. Maybe someone else knows.
